In general, northern coastal cities like Nahariya and Kiryat Yam are more affordable. In Nahariya, apartments near the beach usually sell for around 4 million shekels, while luxury penthouses can reach 7 million shekels. In Kiryat Yam, newer seaside apartments sell for about 3.5 to 4 million shekels, which is considered high for the area but still much lower than central Israel.

Moving south, prices rise. In Haifa, beachside apartments can reach over 6 million shekels. Hadera has changed a lot in recent years, with new luxury towers near the coast. Apartments there often sell for 6 to 8 million shekels, and penthouses can go even higher.

Netanya is one of the most expensive coastal cities. Sea view apartments regularly sell for 9 to 10 million shekels, while luxury penthouses can reach 15 to 18 million shekels. Many buyers there are foreign residents, especially from the US.

In Herzliya Pituach, prices are among the highest in the country. Large apartments near the marina sell for 5 to 20 million shekels, while private homes on the cliff can sell for well over 100 million shekels.

Tel Aviv holds the record. Recently, a large sea view apartment sold for 58 million shekels, one of the most expensive apartment deals ever in Israel.

Further south, Bat Yam, Ashdod, and Ashkelon offer slightly lower prices, though luxury homes still reach high numbers. Beachside apartments in these cities usually range from 6 to 9 million shekels, with premium penthouses selling for more.

The bottom line:
The closer you are to the sea, the higher the price. Northern coastal cities offer more accessible options, while central Israel remains very expensive. For buyers looking long term, especially in the north or developing coastal areas, there may still be opportunities before prices rise further.
